Hosting Tips
When you know how to host well, your guests are going to have the best time! Here are 5 tips brought to you from the Bennett family, who know how to host a great gathering.
Prep ahead so you can enjoy the party
Learning what you need before you need it is important. Gather your recipes and decide on the setting of the party first.
2.
Arrange your serving dishes the night before
To eliminate the rush of setting up, do it the night before! Set the table and organize the placement of food, glasses, serving stations, etc.
3.
Make a guest list
Invite your people! Write out a guest list and send out invitations early on so you know who is coming. This helps with planning food and spaces.
4.
Choose a theme and set the mood
Have fun with hosting. Plan themed food and incorporate it into dishware and decor. Use music to allow the party to be moody or energetic.
5.
The most important tip is to be fully present with your guests. It can be hard to host and be a good listener at the same time, but once you can master that, you’re golden. The cleaning up can wait for later. For now, enjoy the people you care about and tend to them by being present!
Be present!
